Showcase projects

Does your organization see the potential and returns of user experience (UX) design? Is there skepticism about UX design working well in your development environment? Do you need to test-pilot your first UX project with maximum exposure and minimum risk?

Engage with Human Factors International (HFI) to carry out showcase projects that introduce UX into your organization’s ecosystem. These tactical projects help demonstrate the feasibility and value of UX in your business environment while you’re gearing up for institutionalization.

How showcase projects help with the institutionalization process

Institutionalizing UX within the organization can be daunting. It takes time, hard work, a UX champion, and a strategy to influence and change internal culture and processes. One way to help expedite this process is by showcasing tactical UX projects that allow for others within the organization to see the value and the benefits that a solid UX practice offers.

Showcasing projects provides:

  • Visibility of the UX process
  • The 'how to measure' UX results (the return on investment - ROI)
  • Templates to follow for future projects
  • Mentoring and training opportunities for internal staff
Showcase projects highlight the immediate and longterm benefits of the UX process in your business environment

Long-term benefits

  • Allows others to become familiar with the UX process
  • Provides repeatable processes and templates to follow, increasing efficiency and reducing effort and costs
  • Documents the value of UX
  • Highlights the ROI of UX

With each successful tactical project, integrating UX into the organization’s current thinking and processes will become easier.
